All these images are on view as part of the Shaker Village exhibit "The Human and the Eternal: Shaker Art in Its Many Forms"
This folk art exhibit is on view for its second and final year in 2009.
Panoramic "A View of the Church Family at New Gloucester, Maine, January 1, 1850" a pen and ink drawing of Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in the mid-19th century. The drawing was done by Elder Joshua Bussell. Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village is an active community of Shakers. Many of the buildings seen in this drawing are open to the public by guided tour.
Painting of the meetinghouse. Caption: "Old Shaker Meeting House" was painted by Sr. Cora Helena Sarle in 1954. The painting depicts the 1794 Sabbathday Lake Shaker Meetinghouse still in use by the Shakers as a house of worship. Sunday Shaker meeting is open to the public. The tour of the meetinghouse tells the history of the Shakers in the early decades of their presence in the United States and in Maine-the 1770's through to the early 1800's. Other parts of the tour tell the remaining history into the present day.

Baskets. Caption: These miniature baskets were made in the first quarter of the 20th century by Sr. Annie Belle Tuttle, a Mt. Lebanon, NY Shaker. They are part of the extensive collections of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. The Sabbathday Lake Shakers also made baskets - part of that craft is on view by guided tour in the 1821 Sisters' Shop where visitors can also see the herb room, the candy kitchen and the 1910 Shaker Store.
Two paintings. Caption - The upper painting by Sr. Genie Coolbroth shows the Outlet Road at Sabbathday Lake, part of the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. In the right distance is the Outlet Beach. Nature hikes in the summer-fall months bring visitors through the Shaker fields and woods to Loon's Point on the lake which gives the hikers a panoramic view of almost the entire lake. Aurelia's Cascade is also part of the hikes as well.

Haying. Caption- Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village has been a working farm since before the arrival of the Shakers themselves in the early 1780s. It is one of the oldest working farms in Maine. The Shakers of today raise sheep, Highland cattle and pigs. Yarn from the home flock is for sale in the Shaker Store. Haying also continues on the farm and more particularly in this south hayfield to this very day. Round bales have replaced the gathering of loose hay. The Sabbathday Lake Shaker farm is part of Maine Open Farm Day held every year in the summer - one of many special events that are part of the village's annual calendar.
